Nobuyuki Hamada, Ph.D.
Nobuyuki Hamada was born in Japan in 1976 and received a B.Sc.
in radiological sciences from Ibaraki Prefectural University of
Health Sciences in 1999. He earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in
pharmaceutical sciences from Nagasaki University in 2001 and 2004,
respectively. He was also a visiting Ph.D. student at the Gray Cancer
Institute (Northwood, UK) in April 2003-October 2003. He was a
postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences
and in Tohoku University Institute of Development, Aging and
Cancer, and a COE Associate Professor in Gunma University
Graduate School of Medicine. In April 2010, he joined the Radiation Safety Research Center in
the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) as a Research Scientist.
For 15+ years, he has conducted a series of radiobiological studies. His past projects include
nontargeted effects and heavy-ion effects. His ongoing projects aim to elucidate the radiation
response of primary normal human lens epithelial cells and to establish a mouse model system
allowing a life-long chase of damaged cells. He has also been involved in several health physics
studies.
He has authored or coauthored 74 papers in peer-reviewed international journals since 2001,
which have gained over 1400 citations and a total impact factor of over 160. He is a recipient of
the 2013 Michael Fry Research Award of the U.S. Radiation Research Society (RRS), and has
received 14 awards from Japan Radiation Research Society (JRRS), Japanese Society for
Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (JASTRO) or other Japanese societies since 2006.
He joined the ICRP in March 2014 to serve as the ICRP Assistant Scientific Secretary and an
Associate Editor for Annals of the ICRP. Since 2013, he has also been a member of Expert
Group on Radiation Protection Science (EGRPS) for the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development/Nuclear Energy Agency/Nuclear Energy Agency/Committee on
Radiation Protection and Public Heath (OECD/NEA/CRPPH), and a member of Expert
Committee on Radiation Protection of the Ocular Lens for Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS).
